“Two Seasons: Summer-Autumn 2015” Tournament. Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

Excellent respawn with 2 external Archer dwellings, 4 crypts, stables, Luna, Gunnar, Calth with a Loga from prison. In the adjacent underground is an external Red Dragon dwelling. On 116 I capture the enemy's Tower and send Calth to scout. He discovers Dessa on 117, and Gunnar kills her. A surrender follows. Thanks for the game!

A bold surrender - decided not to restart even after seeing the opponent's Luna on 112. On the respawn: an external Hound dwelling, Tyraxor in the tavern with three stacks, a 3-4 Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive behind Liches, a convenient exit to the center with good roads. Later I found two more Griffin Conservatories, an external Ogre dwelling, Cyclopes, and Birds. Then my five-size instincts kicked in - I collected all external dwellings without even building a Citadel, and because of that money ran out on 117 - on 121 I planned to take the Dwarf dwelling with Dessa and go for the Griffin Conservatories, but then Gunnar arrived, cut down Dessa, and gobbled up the Dwarf dwelling. Decided not to pay the stake for an extra week and surrendered on 117 on the opponent's turn. Post-mortem showed I could have taken a two-size Griffin Conservatory (unchecked) by sinking all resources into trade and part of the meat, but decided not to continue - the exit from the respawn was controlled by the opponent, and money with resources were not expected anytime soon at all. Thanks for the game.
